Humpa at Stornoret

Last weekend I spent some time in the woods. It is one of my favorite things, to go enjoy the slow life. The Swedes called our excursion a 'humpa' although I'm not sure most of them knew what a humpa was. But had a humpa we did! Here is the photographic evidence(:

Oh! So everyone is working on an ancient swedish handicraft called "nålbindning" which is sort of like knitting or crocheting, except that it is done with a sort of large, flat, blunt needle. And it involves some wrapping of yarn around the thumb. And then it somehow ends with felting. So a few people were carving their needles in preparation.
